The Best Sites To Learn About San Francisco

I’m taking one hundred students to San Francisco next week on one of our annual insane field trips. We’ll be visiting the Museum of The African Diaspora, the Contemporary Jewish Museum, Chinatown, and a variety of other places (I’ll be posting photos on my website).

In preparation for the trip, I thought I’d put together a collection of links for them to review on Tuesday.

The great site Soundguideweb has a good video on San Francisco with online activities for English Language Learners. It doesn’t appear to be viewable with Internet Explorer, though, so be sure to use the Firefox browser.

The San Francisco Chronicle has published newly discovered color photos documenting the destruction of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. These are not manually tinted ones — they are one of the earliest actual color photographs. You can see s slideshow of the photos here, and read an article about them here.

Hi there,
Thanks for mentioning my website SOUNDGUIDE at http://www.soundguideweb.com.
Yet, the people you should really pay tribute to are the people from http://www.watchmojo.com who produce these marvelous videos.
I only humbly try to make a few exercises with their material.
Keep up the good work.
All the best from southern France.
